C4K post 2 - October

The first blog I was assigned for this post was a blog for a class room at the Bailey Road School in New Zealand titled "Kids with a View."  I was also assigned to comment on the eighth blog from the top.  The post I landed on was a post prompting me to vote on the New Zealand flag debate.  Looks like New Zealand is considering changing their flag from their traditional blue with Union flag and four red stars to a black flag with a white silver fern(picture below).   My comment below the picture explains which I voted for and why.

My comment: "Hi, I am one of the many students in Dr. Strange's EDM310 class at the University of South Alabama.  I voted for the black flag because it distinguishes your country from others.  It's different and that Union stamp is on a number of other flags.  I'll be keeping up with the news to see if the black flag wins out.  Thanks for the post."

The second kid I was assigned to comment on was Blake in Mrs. C's class blog.  His blog posts are short so there isn't much for me to say about them.  But I just encouraged him and gave him a little correction he needed to make. If you click on Blake's name you can go to his blog.

My comment:  "Hey Blake! I am a student at the University of South Alabama.  I was just looking at your blog.  It looks like you are really enjoying it.  I too love writing.  It is a great skill to have.  You may need to take a look at the title of this post.  It looks like you just switched a couple of letters around.  No big deal buddy.  Keep up the good work!"

The third assignment for C4K was for me to comment on Sohel's post in the Room 9@Pt England School blog.  She had made an animation about the Eiffel Tower and Paris using and animation software.  He post is about 15 posts down on the blog, but it is really well done and impressive considering her age.

My Comment: "Hey Sohel,  My name is Taylor and I am a student at the University of South Alabama in the United States.  I think you did a great job with your animation.  I can tell you worked very hard.  Good luck with school this year!"

For the fourth C4K assignment for this month I am innovating a little bit.  For some reason I lost my C4K comment from the second week of the month.  So I doubled up in week four.  I went to a different blog but from what looks like the same school in New Zealand as my previous post.  Here's a link to DJ's animation about Canadian beavers. You can tell he worked hard on the video.  Check it out!

My Comment: "Hey DJ, My name is Taylor Lane and I am also a student at the University of South Alabama.  I really enjoyed your animation and information about beavers in Canada.  I can tell that you worked very hard on it.  Good luck with school this year."
